Session Description

When promoting and advocating for the expansion of virtual education offerings, the messenger matters most. As parents and students, families are the choosers when it comes to virtual education curriculum and can offer a unique perspective as advocates. Parents as Advocates will feature parent and student leaders from around the country that have engaged in the fight for equal access to virtual education and will detail their involvement in legislative successes for the school choice movement.
